Agate: 'The Uplifter'

Blue Lace Agate - one of the rarest and most popular of the agates.


Agate of all varieties attract strength and are generally a protection to ward off bad dreams. Agate can also protect the wearer from stress and energy drains. Agates have been used as a decorative adornment since Babylonian times and are prized gems in antiquity. The agates with banded colors were placed at the head of a sleeper to give rich and varied dreams.

Blue lace agate is one of the rarest and most popular of the agates; and is a calming and uplifting stone. The blue colour strengthens the function of the throat chakra and encourages peace. It can be used wherever there is a build up of painful or irritated energy.

Wear or carry blue lace agate for peace and happiness. Place it in your hand when you feel the need to de-stress. If you find yourself in stressful situations at work or home, keep some blue lace agate on your desk and simply gaze at it for relief.

I personally find Agate 'shards' to fortify and strengthen information perceived in a crystal casting. I have various pieces of Agate of differing varieties, and I gauge the tone of the casting by the colour and the position of Agate if and when it occurs. I classify it as 'uplifter' stone. One which provides focus and concentration.
